Personalize a tiny pumpkin or gourd: Photocopy the first initial of a guest's name from a clip-art book (the Dover Clip-Art Series has a big selection). Tape a piece of transfer paper (one source is sarolpaper.com) onto the gourd and tape the letter on top of it. Transfer the letter with a pencil. Remove the papers and trace over imprint with a permanent marker. TIPS: Hand letter an initial on a small pumpkin or gourd with a pencil, then retrace it with a permanent marker. An alternative to hand lettering is stenciling. Purchase a pack of alphabet stencils at an art-supply or crafts store. Tape a stenciled letter on a pumpkin or gourd's surface and stencil with a permanent marker.
